* [PATCH] vt: add TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECTRafael J. Wysocki2006-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT needed by the userland suspend tool to get the current value of kmsg_redirect from the kernel so that it can save it and restore it after resume.

* [PATCH] IPMI: fix startup race conditionCorey Minyard2006-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Matt Domsch noticed a startup race with the IPMI kernel thread, it was possible (though extraordinarly unlikely) that a message could come in before the upper layer was ready to handle it. This patch splits the startup processing of an IPMI interface into two parts, one to get ready and one to actually start the processes to receive messages from the interface.

With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

So if there's no hardware present you still get "telco_clock" appearing in /proc/devices and, I assume, an oops reading /proc/devices if tlclk was a module. Fix.

* | | [PATCH] ipmi: add full sysfs supportCorey Minyard2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver. It links in the proper bus and device support. It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the driver (as a device). These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory. If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should discover this and will only have one BMC entry. The BMC entry will have pointers to each interface device that connects to it. The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later. This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou. I basically rewrote it using that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).

* | | [PATCH] ipmi: add generic PCI handlingCorey Minyard2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify the PCI hanling code for the IPMI driver to use the new method of tables and registering, and adds more generic PCI handling for IPMI. Unfortunately, this required a rather large rework of the way the driver did detection so it would be more event-driven.

* | | [PATCH] EFI, /dev/mem: simplify efi_mem_attribute_range()Bjorn Helgaas2006-03-26
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass the size, not a pointer to the size, to efi_mem_attribute_range(). This function validates memory regions for the /dev/mem read/write/mmap paths. The pointer allows arches to reduce the size of the range, but I think that's unnecessary complexity. Simplifying it will let me use efi_mem_attribute_range() to improve the ia64 ioremap() implementation.
